the Jews of Maryland had
waged a long struggle for
equal rights.
Maryland was a colony
established as a refuge for
Catholics, and Jews had never
felt welcome in the State or in
the city of Annapolis, found-
ed by Protestants who got
permission to settle here
under the Tolderation Act
which stated that all Charis-
tians were welcome.
Jews were much less.
welcome. One law required
that anyone who held public
office must take an oath of
allegiance to Christianity.
Jews started to petition the
legislature to change that
law. But their petitions were
repeatedly denied, until one
legislator — not Jewish —
Thomas Kennedy from Ha-
gerstown, took up their cause
and gave impassioned
speeches in the senate
chamber. Finally, the Jew Bill
was passed.
Officially called Act for the
Relief of the Jews of
Maryland, it removed the re-
quired Christian oath and
paved the way for Jews to
enter all areas of public life.
And they did. Early elected
officials included Louis Baer,
first Jew to serve on city coun-
cil, and Noah Hillman, city
councilman for 16 years,
whose son Richard was
elected mayor in 1981. Other
Jews have served in state
government, including
former Governor Martin
Mandel.
<_,
Mandel and other politi-
cians often have their power
lunches in an unlikely place
— Chick and Ruth's Delly on
Main Street. It is one of the
most successful and enduring
Jewish businesses in town,
this old fashioned deli with
the bagels piled high on the
counter and Chick Levitt
presiding almost like a mayor.
Levitt started the business
2 years ago and has had
loyal patrons ever since.
Wearing a black bow tie and
white apron, he greets his
customers by name, kibbitzes
and tells jokes while his son
'Ibd serves corned-beef sand-
wiches — the Levitts cook
their owned corned beef dai-
ly, 50 pounds of it — and other
specialties.
The deli is the meeting
place for Naval Academy of-
ficers, Baltimore Orioles,
local politicians and longtime
residents. Many sandwiches
on the extensive menu are
named for politicians who fre-
quent the place, including
Jewish office holders. ❑
